How robust is Marr likely to be in the face of a tragic national incident? It'll be a soft touch interview which will allow Johnson to soothe voters fears, expressing solidarity with everyone, and urging the nation to come together to face such threats to our liberties blah blah. Marr will struggle to be combative in such a climate.

Right, I'm done with the BBC now. Credit to Gloom, I held out for some time in a position of just assuming they were incompetent instead of corrupt, but that's the line in the sand. They've seen an opportunity to cave in and have gone for it. Cowardly, partisan fucks.

I see. Well I'm prepared to do anything at this point. I guess it all relies on trust of course. What's to stop a collection of Tory voters abusing the system?

I don't get this. What is the benefit for the marginal voter. I mean if i give them my safe seat vote it's not like that vote matters for anything here.

Apparently there is a fake tweet of Corbyn stating sympathy for the perpetrator of the attack today doing the rounds. It feels like he's going to come under questions about this in the coming days.

The number of things Brexit achieves being as low as it is, I actually think that might be believable.

The idea that any institution is able to be incapable of bias is ridiculous. It seems clear which way the BBC leans. Not that this should be a surprise to anyone. I said a week or so ago that it's not good enough to simply point to right wingers bleating about BBC bias and use that to claim that it's probably impartial (both sides complain), because those right wingers are often utter morons. The BBC is biased against Labour and the left. I don't think it means to be, but through sheer fear of the Tories, they have become it. Spineless and broken institution.

I think we're all going through a range of emotions on this. Honestly I'm glad this community is here. We're all in the foxhole together.

Yeah but given that 50% of them are supposedly pro Tory now, maybe that's not a bad thing.

In fairness, my expectations remain low - but between the large number of new voters who may not have been accounted for in polling, and the assumption that many Remain voters will vote tactically (every single Remainer I know is doing this), I think a bloody nose for the Tories is still possible, even if not likely.

4000 votes per seat really doesn't need to be that organised. Momentum will be out on election day making sure the Lib Dems who would tactically vote Labour will do so. Hopefully the LDs have a similar cohort. The educated voters are on our side in this, at least.

Not telling us anything Gem didn't say earlier tbf. Tactical voting, I assume, can still swing it.

There's no media bias mate, it's been confirmed several times and I for one am totally convinced. This shitshow is just standard operating procedure for what I can only assume are a collective of utter muppets.

If true, surely this isn't beyond us. It won't deliver a Labour majority either, meaning Labour are free to promise the earth without having to deliver.

So we use "getvoting.org". And yet when I Google it, I get an article from the guardian saying not to trust it...

Ah so, MRP is a tactical voting tool? I missed that, I thought it was just a set of polling data. Well of this is the one to use then great, I'll spread it around.

Every tactical voting tool that I've come across seems to be telling people to vote LD in seats where they stand no chance of winning based on the 2019 Euro elections. It's a worthless recommendation. Also, no one seems to be pushing any of them into the public eye because the Peoples Vote campaign has decided to devour itself from the inside out.

Why is there not an actually functional and non-partisan tactical voting tool yet ffs.

Aren't we the millenials? EDIT sometimes I forget the ages on here. I'm sure some of it will be that but the positive here is that the EU elections were not long ago. That should have confirmed to many people if they were registered or not.

I don't think this latest round of antisemitism stuff is going to be a big issue. People know what the real issues are and deep down, everyone knows that Labour arent going to start persecuting Jews. Let the press have it IMO, once it's gone they've got nothing.

It's at least nice to see that Labour have some guns in their arsenal.

Actually, does Boris Johnson have to be interviewed by Andrew Neil today? Or imminently at least? Is this the revenge play?

How has Corbyn managed to get hold of that trade deal? And would it not have been better released after Trump visits when this antisemitism nonsense is out if the way? I appreciate it's a dead cat but still.

As an aside, what does anyone think of this? Couple of years old. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/08/israeli-diplomat-shai-masot-plotted-against-mps-set-up-political-groups-labour

He's part of a threat to the media, not you. Unless you're speaking on behalf of "they" in which case fair enough
